During such difficult times in pandemic, financial institutions have been working extra hard, now that the entire economic crisis has fallen on the shoulders of these banks, with activities like loan moratoriums going on amidst the pandemic.
With everything shifting online, it got easier for users of different banks to conduct banking services on banking apps, eliminating the need to physically go to the banks, thereby reducing the chances of contracting the deadly virus.
However, there still remains certain banking services like submission of TDS certificates or cheque payments, which absolutely requires personal contact.
In a groundbreaking move, banks have now started to offer doorstep services for most bank-related work so that the compulsion of coming to banks for customers reduces by a lot.
